1:00 AM – This Cardinal seems to be ‘whetting’ his beak on the edge of the bird bath. That’s probably not what this is about, but I’m not sure what he’s really doing. Maybe the point of it is to make that scraping sound, as a signal to other birds.
This Carolina Wren is bathing his head, but also seems to be honing his beak on the rim of the bath, like the Cardinal above. Is this new, or has it been going on for a while, and we didn’t notice it?
A Robin at the birdbath, but he’s not drinking or bathing. He seems to be paying attention to something in the yard, possibly a cat.
